Elixir Nanoweb Long Scale 5-stars Reviews

One happy Bass player!

I ordered these strings not for myself but for the bassist in our tribute band and he has been really happy with the performance and the longevity of string, he will definitely be using them again as he is really happy with the tone when fitted to both his Fender Jazz and his Spector basses.

Best Bass Strings!

Have used these exclusively for years.... never let me down. I play A LOT, professionally most weekends, teach during the week, studio sessions etc and I still get a good 6 months before any sign of dullness!!

Never had one snap on me either.

I'll never go back.

Someone told be about elixir strings and the soft feel they offered.

I had just mounted a set of new strings that felt like it was eating my fingers, making me quite unhappy with that choice, so i decided to give the Elixirs a try.

The feel is not like a tapewound or or flatwound string, it's still a roundwound, only softer. You get less sliding noise and your plucking hand's calluses aren't eaten up that fast. I love that.

The sound can not compare with a superfresh set of normal strings, they lack a little of the harsh brightness that i use to filter out by dialing back on the highs until the strings are broken in. You could say they sound like a set of strings that are about two weeks old (if you're not a super heavy player with more than an hour playtime a day) straight out of the box.

And that sound is kept for a really long period of time. I'd say elixirs last at least twice as long as normal roundwounds.

I like a string best when it's well broken in and has had about 2/3 of its lifespan spent on the bass and elixirs stay like that forever (after about 18 months the coating comes off and the strings look fuzzy, that's the signal to change them for me).

Bright and zingy

Not cheap , but these strings remain as bright as when you first put them on !!

I stuck them on my workhorse jazz bass , I rehearse twice a week , and gig at least once a week and they still sound bright and zingy !! Great strings and well worth the money
